Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This often makes individuals particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the various challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse problems is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other help as part of their treatment program, and there are drug rehab centers available throughout the Cerrillos area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol rehab programs around Cerrillos and in the country.
